I have a 30 year old Jacuzzi made by kohler. We have had a renovation. the jacuzzi control switch was made by Unimax and the electrician neglected to identify the leads and the corresponding posts for the control. Is there any chance anyone has an old control diagrams for a 012079 whirlpool control switch somewhere. Someone out there has a similar setup and we would be grateful for rewiring assistance
There are four wires across the bottom. With the controls facing down, and the bottom closest to you, the left most is the white wire, then the thin black, then the thick black. The right most on the bottom is red. Above the red is the green wire.
Those parts made by unimax as you have found out are no longer made. solution is to put a new pump and control in.

Hi, first check the air switch hose that connects to the "button"
Open the access for the pump there should be 1/4" poly tubing (probably clear) that connects to the pump motor. It just slides over a barbed nipple usually located somewhere on the back of the pump housing opposite the pipe connections. Make sure it is in place properly. If it is in place then look else where. The tubing also connects to the back of the air switch "button". This button connection rarely fails, especially if the tub was working and now does not. But if the tub is newly installed and may have disconnected during installation. this connection is probably going to be difficult if not impossible to verify since it is usually concealed after installation.
Some pump motors have resets some do not. If it does it probably is on the very back of pump oppositethe pipe connections.
Also check to make sure that any electrical outlets in the bathroom, or any where in a nearby radius of the tub, to see if they have "GFI" reset buttons and make sure that they havn't tripped by pushing in the button between the plug-ins named "reset". Usually the circuit for the pump will be tied into one of these switches to add ground fault protection to the circuit.
If your pump is not working after checking these things it may be dead. Does your pump "hum" after pushing the button? Do you smell any type oder around the pump that would suggest a "burnt motor"?
If the pump is dead you will have to replace it.

Sound like your pump may have a leak into the electric motor part of it through the shaft seal.
Or it could just have junk stopping up the lines or the pumps impeller. Hair often finds it's way into these things and screws them up!
If it's leaking there will be some water showing below the pump unit.....

if it is running constantly then you have an issue with the controller. there seems to be a short in the system causing this to happen. Maybe an issue on the circuit board, perhaps a relay that is stuck. You will want to call in a service company to have it replaced for you.
